Makes 8 biscuits<br>
'''Ingredients'''<br>
2-1/4 cups sprouted spelt flour<br>
1/2 teaspoon baking soda<br>
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder<br>
3/4 teaspoon sea salt<br>
6 tablespoons butter, cold (or solid coconut oil)<br>
3/4 cup raw whole milk OR coconut milk, or nut milk (or even pure water)<br>
1 tablespoon raw apple cider vinegar or lemon juice<br>
<br>
'''Directions'''<br>
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and sea salt.

Add the butter or coconut oil, then cut it into the flour using a pastry cutter or a fork, until the pieces of oil are the size of peas or smaller.
Add the milk (or water) and vinegar mixture.

Mix lightly with a wooden spoon to barely combine the ingredients. Don't overmix!

Transfer the dough to a clean, floured surface and roll into a rectangle about 1/2-inch thick.

Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut into 2-inch squares.

Transfer squares to an oiled cookie sheet, leaving space between.
Put sheet in oven.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until golden brown.
Transfer to cooling rack.<br>
<br>
'''Notes'''<br>
Mix the vinegar and milk together about 5 to 10 minutes beforehand to create "buttermilk".<br>
If you don't have sprouted spelt flour, use whole wheat pastry flour (but use 2-1/2 cups) or unsprouted spelt flour.<br>
